Question: chest x-ray revealed that "Right paracardfiac soft opacities seen",what does it mean
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Right paracardiac soft opacities in a chest X-ray could be due to a vascular prominence, an enlarged lymph node, an infection like tuberculosis, a chest mass- may be a tumor.
Looking at the X-ray directly and a clinical correlation after a proper examination is necessary to find out the cause.
To know the extent of opacities and their nature, an MRI of the chest will be helpful.
Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
